The South Australian Brewing Club hosts two competitions each year for its members. These competitions provide an opportunity to receive expert feedback on their beers. The summer competition typically takes place in February, while the winter competition is usually held in June or July.
The styles of beer that are judged change with each competition and are announced 4 to 5 months in advance. Members can earn points in our Brewer of the Year competition by winning awards at these events, by participating in informal social gatherings, and by presenting their beers at club meetings for members to taste, learn from, and provide feedback on.
Additionally, the club supports the Amateur Brewing Championships SA (ABCSA), which is open to all home brewers and takes place in September. Brewers who place first, second, or third in the various categories at this competition are eligible to enter their beers into the Australian Amateur Brewing Championships (AABC).
